John was a faithful member of our Ann Arbor VA Medical Center's POW Support Group where we met the second Thursday of every month. John wrote a book titled... "One Slow High Flying Target Survivor" telling his story of his experience. I count it an honor knowing this WWII hero. We were/are the largest POW Support Group in America.

John was a faithful member of our Ann Arbor VA Medical Center's POW Support Group where we met the second Thursday of every month. John wrote a book titled... "One Slow High Flying Target Survivor" telling his story of his experience. I count it an honor knowing this WWII hero. We were/are the largest POW Support Group in America. We have heard stories over the last 23 years from heroes that would make one cry..... It is men like John Dobek that help make our nation what it is today. I salute you John Dobek for your outstanding service to our great country and for being the man that you were. I will miss you deeply. I know you are resting in the arms of Jesus where there is no pain, no suffering, no war but ....... peace!!!
